They say, “Good things come to people who have the patience to wait, and even greater things come to people who persevere and work hard for their goals.”

A month ago, I decided to join the sales force of Alveo Land Corporation, which is a subsidiary of Ayala Land Company– the most well established real estate developer in the Philippines. Last July 30, Alveo Land paid respect the most hard-working people in the sales force with their Mid-year awards. It was nice to see people going up the stage and reap the fruits of your labor. I once read Oprah saying, “Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.” I believe that is true.

People might think that I am in mid-life and it’s too late for me to start a career in sales, but I just shrug off the thought. I am on my third month here in Alveo and I am enjoying every minute of it. And mind you, with me taking an effort to dress up for the Woodstock event –which was the theme of our Mid-year sales award, is an affirmation to my being immersed into the sales culture.

I joined the Alveo to hone the salesman in me — which is I think my weakness, and to be able to use my God-given skills and talents. I am here to succeed and not to prove anything to anyone. One of these days, I picture myself receiving one of those awards — and when I set my mind to it, I will work for it. With God’s grace, I can be the best!

I am blessed to be part of a very supportive group of people, from the company, my Director, to my Group Manager and to my team members. God has directed my path leading to success which leaves me no excuse to succeed. I can say it is really more fun to work in ALVEO!
